Baseball Plaque

This is one of Steve Goods pattern I just finished today. Made out of 3/4 Oak and measures 10 x 7. Took a few hours to do because of the thickness of the Oak. I used a #5 blade on this with no problem. Not sure how much to charge for them. I was thinking about $60.00. Not sure if that's to much or not enough.

That is well cut.  Like the Oak.

With the Yankees name on it won't get much here in Canada.  (I am in Blue Jay's country LOL)

It is on my bucket list to do this.  I am not going to put on a team name but add a row of shaker pegs for hanging of ribbons.  The kids all get ribbons with team sports.

I currently do my own design and add the kids name. (Hockey, soccer, softball)  I may do the same with Steve's pattern.  Steve has a football and a hockey sign.

I don't normally sell but I got $50 for my ribbon holders.  

FYI here is a sample

Thanks Don. I think $60.00 isn't to bad then. Steve has all the Major League teams so I can do what ever team any one wants.

That sure came out good. I would love to be able to get $60 for a project like that.

Very nicely done Ralph.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Dave, do you think the price is to high.

Ralph, Totally depends on your market and what you are willing to make another one for.  I have been told that I price my stuff too cheap. In my market I would price that $30. If you can get $60 for it I think that is great. The puzzles that Iggy gets $25 for I only get $15. 

 

[rdatelle]

Thanks Dave. I might go as low as. $50. To much work goes into it to sell it much cheaper.

[edward]

$60 seems a little high, I usually sell my items for $25, I just want to make them and sell them, maybe in your area it  might seem right, but here people will just walk away. It might be worth it to you, just my opinion.  edward

very nice job

[rdatelle]

Edward, I think I can get $50..00 for them. I think $25.00 for me is not worth making unless I use a cheaper wood but I like the way the Oak looks.

[edward]

I always use Oak, if you can get $50 more power to you., I will be making one of those soon.  edward

Very nice cutting.  As for price, it is what the market will bear.  Here in Dayton, prices for art and craft items are a lot less than say Chattanooga.

[Blaughn]

Very nice piece!!!
